[Quoted] I'm just wondering if anyone has tried to use MS Access or Visual Basic as a front end for data stored in an Oracle database. What are the various techniques used in doing this? Potential bugs and pitfalls?

[Quoted] I actually did this a couple of years ago - set up an Personal Oracle database and ODBC drivers on a windows 95 (I think) machine and linked Oracle tables from within an Access 2.0 database. The technology seemed quite buggy. Has the technology matured? What about new technologies such as OLE DB Providers (is there one for Oracle)? What about Oracle OLE Objects? Any insight would be much appreciated.
